What getAddressCounters does on Agentek Eth
AI agents call getAddressCounters to retrieve information from Agentek Eth without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why getAddressCounters is rated Low
This tool retrieves and queries blockchain data (transaction counts, token transfer counts, gas metrics) from an address without any side effects. It performs a read-only query operation on Ethereum blockchain state. No data is modified, deleted, executed, or financial transactions are initiated. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker could only enumerate blockchain data that is already public.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'getAddressCounters' and description 'Get aggregate counters for an address: total transactions, token transfers, gas usage, and validations count' — uses 'Get' verb and describes only retrieval of existing aggregate data with no modification,…
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs getAddressCounters safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Agentek Eth, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For getAddressCounters, this is the rule to start with:
getAddressCounters is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Agentek Eth, apply this rule, and every getAddressCounters call is checked against it from then on.

Register the Agentek Eth MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for getAddressCounters: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Agentek Eth. Nothing to install.
getAddressCounters is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the getAddressCounters rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for getAddressCounters. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
getAddressCounters is provided by the Agentek Eth MCP server (nanidao/agentek). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
